“They’ll know what pundits and ex-players have said towards them personally.

“I’m sure Borna will be aware of what Kris has said.

“I don’t think Mark Allen will care too much about what Kris has said.

“He’s done an incredible job since he walked through the door.

“When he came in, there needed to be a lot of changes in the team, in the squad, in the staff, at Ibrox, at the training ground.

“He’s doing everything he can to improve things

“If you look at where the club is now compared to what he walked into, he should be applauded for the job he’s done.

“I don’t think Mark will be too worried about what other people think about him.

“But if I was Borna, I’m sure he can find the piece and it’s up to Borna if he wants to comment on what Kris said or if he wants to show in his performances that Kris is wrong

“That’s up to Borna, it’s not up to me.”

Interestingly, Boyd will come face-to-face with Gerrard this weekend when Rangers host Killie, so is it appropriate for the veteran forward to be making comments like this when he’s still an active Premiership player?
